Visited late Saturday afternoon with hubby for some chilled drinks, found it a great venue, fab cocktails & beers, and great nachos! Loved the tunes, although as the indoor area was at times competing with a function and live outdoor music, it became quite noisy at times. Overall fun vibe and will be back!

It was a perfect experience, with a perfect ambience. The staff were extremely patient despite us staying over the closing time (very grateful, thank you) and the staff were very accomodating for my friend with food restrictions especially at such a short notice. Some of my picky friends absolutely loved the food, saying that all the different textures and flavours that came together made it such a lovely experience. I will definitely be coming back again!

Deli-cafe by day, elegant-restaurant by night. Tesoro Gastronomia is a testament to the belief that a dining experience need not be fussy to be fantastic.

The seasonal menu pays homage to our Italian roots, presented in a modern context, we explore Italian cuisine's greatest hits whilst taking advantage of the beauty and bounty of seasonal local ingredients.

Tesoro exists to share our passion for the beauty and simplicity of Italian cuisine, and 100% of profits are either donated to local charities or used to sponsor the arts & events in the local community. As a collective, we recognise that our parents & grandparents sacrificed to give our generation the gifts of opportunity & prosperity; so Tesoro was created in their honour to pay their legacy forward.

A new Melbourne dining destination.

Laurus Melbourne is the embodiment of modern Chinese dining through an Australian lens brought to you by a team with decades of hospitality experience. With a focus on progressive Southern Chinese cuisine, the menu evokes a blending of two cultures, showcasing experimental and bold flavour combinations.

The Laurus experience pays respect to tradition and promotes a harmony with both nostalgia and the new, akin to the ancient Chinese philosophy of ying and yang. This notion of duality is reimagined as complementary rather than in opposition. Laurus is a destination that appeals those seeking a sense of nostalgia and those looking to venture where they have not been before.

We attended on a Tuesday night when they have options for a slow cooked option or two courses for $45. We chose the second option and were actually blown away by the choices and the quality of the offerings on the menu. Well worth a visit.

Amazing food, service and vibe as always, Will be sad to see this place close down
Inspired by our Northern Italian roots, we bring the traditionally casual, regional osteria into an urban setting. And shake it up a bit.
Unfussy local food & wine hosted in a warm neighbourhood eatery. Strictly seasonal produce, championing regional growers & artisans.

We have been serving crafty and creative Vegan food and cocktails to the masses for 5 years now and cant wait share it with our loving community!
We have a a new team led by Harper, our new VM and Charlotte our new head chef and the new offering is sure to be a crowd pleaser. Its a bit fancier than the past menus and its a perfect match for the new feel of the space, spread over 3 large proteins, 3 tapas items, and 3 easy mains. Your date nights, functions, parties and family dinners just got a whole lot better at Good Love.
Not to worry though as we have still kept a few classic GL menu faves like the KFC bowl and the house made all vegan Bacon & Egg Brioche.
Open 7 nights and weekend lunches you'll def need a booking with our new reduced capacity (from the fancy new furniture) and reduced trading hours - good bye breakfasts : )

- Please note that all card payments incur a 1.9% service charge and we have a 2.5% Saturday and 5% Sunday Surcharge on weekends.

Had a fantastic time and will certainly be back. The kitchen was so accommodating to dietary restrictions and went above and beyond to ensure we got meals that suited our needs. And on the first night of a new menu! Stellar service and the food was truly outstanding as well. Although, my personal highlight was the Fig Whiskey Sour, a cocktail so sublime I am going to be thinking about it for months.

Late night kitchen and bar. ''Lover is one of those bars that hits the right note and then holds it perfectly. The corner site is gorgeous, the cocktails are on point, and there’s a surprisingly robust food menu. It’s a sort of restaurant-bar hybrid really. The classic double threat.'' Urban List 2018. Kitchen open late on Friday and Saturday nights!
